The Tampa Bay Rays win again, bringing their record to 3 – 1.
The Rays played the New York Yankees at home on Friday, the first of a three game series.  They held of the Yankees until the top of the fourth inning when the Yankees scored two.  But the Rays weren’t having it.
In the bottom of the fourth Carlos Peña started it off for the Rays with a two run homer.  BJ Upton then singled before stealing second (no surprise there).  Dioner Navarro then singled and Upton came home, making the score 3 – 2.  But it wasn’t over yet.  Sean Rodriguez singled, only to have it followed up with Jason Bartlett hitting a two run double, bring the score to 5 – 2.  Two innings later the Rays extended their lead, scoring four additional runs.
In the top of the eight the Yankees scored once more, but it wasn’t enough.  …

The Tampa Bay Rays have won Opening Day 2010.  And boy, what a finish.
The Rays were down 3 – 1 until the bottom of the sixth when Evan Longoria hit a solo homer into the upper deck.  The blast was estimated at 473 feet, the third longest home run at Tropicana Field.  Longoria’s homer brought the score to 3 – 2.
Then with two outs in the ninth they loaded the bases.   That’s when left fielder Carl Crawford hit a single that drove in two runs to beat the Baltimore Orioles 4 – 3.
Here’s something you don’t see every game:  Every Ray got at least one hit tonight, three of them got two hits.
Way to go Rays!
Now rest up.  Game 2 is tomorrow.

Okay, this might be a simple game but it’s still addicting.
A couple of days ago I downloaded Othello Reversi for my HTC Android Eris from the Android Marketplace.  A quick install and I was ready to play a childhood favorite.
When you start the game you’re taken to a control panel.  It’s a little simple looking but you really don’t need a fancy screen to choose which color you want to be right?  You also have the option to play against someone else, watch a demo or exit the game.
Once you select a color the game starts.  Along the bottom are the scores and whose turn it is.  You can also replay a move if you missed what just happened.
Game play is just like the board game.  I’ve only played a few games but they seem to last a little less than five minutes.
Overall, a good time killer that’s simple to …

I just wanted to take a moment and talk about a game I downloaded for my HTC Droid Eris.  It’s called Robo Defense.
I found the free version of this game while scrolling through the Android Marketplace Games.  It had a high review rating so I thought heck, it’s free, why not give it a shot.  It quickly became a very addicting game.
The goal of the game is to prevent enemy robots, tanks and aircraft from getting into your base.  You build up a defense of cannons, road blocks, surface to air missiles to prohibit them from reaching your base’s main door.
Once you learn the basics of the game you’ll be able to start planning strategies to complicate their movements.
On the third or fourth try I was able to successfully beat the game.  However, just because you beat it once doesn’t mean you can’t play it again.  You can try different …
